In addition to the fellowship, the Honda International Opportunities Fund is awarding each of the seven UHCC students chosen for the Wofford Fellowship, including Ms. Vierra, additional grants to cover travel expenses to their destination countries.

Carly has decided to join the project in Capetown, South Africa, where she will work in a health care program for three months this summer. Congratulations, Carly!
